SEGA has released this teaser video for a 2-D game involving “speed”, a blue blur, spin sound effects and the goal of collecting golden rings. It’s just too cryptic for us to decipher.

If this is the new Sonic The Hedgehog game, supposedly for PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, then it will be exciting if they can hold back from gimics like were-hedgehogs, knights with swords and gun play missions and keep Sonic to what he has always done best; run, collect rings and jump on stuff (it’s better in practice than on paper). Hope springs eternal.
